Senate Bill 7088, also known as House Bill 7041, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 38, Chapter 6, by introducing a new requirement for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI). The bill mandates that by December 1, 2023, and annually on that date thereafter, the TBI must submit a report detailing child and human trafficking crimes and trends within the state. This report will be based on data available to the TBI and will include information on current programs and activities conducted by the TBI's human trafficking unit. The report is to be submitted to the governor, the speaker of the house of representatives, and the speaker of the senate.

The act is designed to enhance awareness and understanding of human trafficking issues in Tennessee, ensuring that key state officials are informed of the current situation and the effectiveness of ongoing efforts to combat these crimes. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of addressing human trafficking in the state.
